Wedding Cakes in Marbella by Tanya Novak

My approach

A wedding cake should taste as carefully considered as it looks

I do not treat wedding cake as decoration placed around a generic sponge. The flavour structure, creams, fruit, chocolate, biscuit or mousse elements and final texture should make sense together before the visual design is resolved.

My style is restrained and contemporary. I prefer proportion, texture, chocolate work, fruit and carefully chosen decorative elements to heavy fondant or copied designs.

Planning your cake

Bespoke rather than catalogue-only

Wedding and larger event cakes require a separate conversation from standard birthday cake orders. The number of guests, serving format, venue, timing, transport and final presentation can all affect the appropriate cake structure.

Art Bakery & Gourmet manages the practical consultation, date availability, sizing, pricing, collection or delivery and the final order in Marbella and the surrounding Costa del Sol area.

Flavour

Start with what you want your guests to remember

A wedding cake can be elegant without being excessively sweet. I build flavour around ingredients such as chocolate, raspberry, pistachio, citrus, coffee, hazelnut, coconut, mango and seasonal fruit, depending on the composition and format.

If you would like to understand my broader cake style before discussing a wedding cake, explore the TANNOV signature collection. It shows the flavour language and visual restraint that run through my work.

Pastry chef

About me

I am Tanya Novak, a Le Cordon Bleu Grand Diplôme graduate, co-founder of Art Bakery & Gourmet and author of the Tannov Pastry Journal. My professional work spans pastry production, restaurant kitchens, chocolate, recipe development and more than twenty years of pastry experience.

For me, wedding work follows the same rule as every other cake: flavour first, technique in service of it, and decoration only when it has a reason to be there.

Wedding cake questions

Before you enquire

Do you make wedding cakes in Marbella?

Yes. Wedding and event cakes are available for celebrations in Marbella and the Costa del Sol, subject to date and production availability.

Do you deliver wedding cakes?

Available delivery is discussed as part of the enquiry because venue location, cake format and event timing affect transport requirements.

Can I choose a cake from the standard collection?

The signature collection is a useful starting point for flavour, but wedding cakes are handled separately because serving size, structure and presentation may need to change.

Can you reproduce a wedding cake from a photograph?

I do not aim to copy another designer’s cake. Reference images can help explain preferences, but the final work should have its own flavour and visual identity.
